The Life Of A Poet Poem by Kenneth Maswabi

The human soul wants to reach out
To teach us the wonders of life
To give us a glimpse into our own past, future and eternity
To reveal the mystical nature of God
To open the chamber of secrets
And show us the heart of love
The poet is mysteriously recruited
To be the bearer of the unimaginable truth
To be the voice of the mysterious truth
To be the conscience in a lost world
To bring hope where there is hopelessness
To reveal the heart of our Creator
And expose the love within
The poet learns to listen
To the eternal voice within
The everlasting wisdom
Made in the image of God
The human soul
The unimaginable truth is a river of life
Beyond the fringes of our understanding
Holy and sanctified
Beyond the limits of human wisdom
The Creator of the universe
The God Almighty
Is the river of truth
I, the poet
The seer of the unimaginable truth
Sorrow and despair
Love eternal
The glorified life
The everlasting covenant
Love immortal
Love everlasting
Love is truth
